Two ways to care for your site

Choose the next step that fits.

The cards below show a do-it-yourself builder and managed website care, with first-year prices for each.

Do it yourself with Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy

You choose the builder and run the site.

  • Choose a plan and build in its editor.
  • Compare the first-year total: twelve plan payments, paid apps, domain renewal and your time.
  • Plan features and renewal prices vary; use the exact plan you would buy.

Example checked 6 October 2026: GoDaddy lists Website Builder from C$12.99/month with annual-term savings. At that displayed rate, 12 monthly equivalents total C$155.88. Its annual plan includes a domain for year one; renewal, optional apps and your time are not included. Check GoDaddy’s current pricing.

Living Websites managed service

A person keeps the site useful after launch.

  • Start from your specialty and service area.
  • Keep the site on your own domain while useful pages are added and measured.
  • Compare one year as twelve monthly payments; every current plan has $0 setup. Package prices and work are listed below.

Foundation example: At the rate shown here, C$49/month with C$0 setup totals C$588 for 12 monthly payments. A builder subscription and managed site care include different work. See the package details.

Free site pilot: key limits.

Signup is open while any of the first ten owner-account places remain. The free static site at <name>.foundsite.ca costs $0. It does not include a hosted inbox, booking or scheduling, automatic replies, photo uploads or galleries, custom domains, or ongoing SEO and demand research.

These are starting-price examples for different services, not like-for-like totals. Confirm the current checkout, renewal and add-on prices before you choose.

A website with a second act

Launch is the first good day.

A website should explain what you do today and still make sense when your work, your area or the questions people ask change.

01 / BE FOUND

Answer the real questions.

Specific pages give local customers more useful ways to find your work.

02 / EARN TRUST

Stay current and clear.

Your site keeps pace with your business instead of becoming a forgotten brochure.

03 / MAKE CONTACT

Make the next step easy.

Every page gives a real person a clear route to a real conversation.

Different businesses, useful websites

Useful beats generic.

These possible page tasks include hospitality, wellness and classes, independent professionals, farms, retailers, community groups and mobile trades. They are illustrations, not clients, customer examples or results.

Farms and food producers

Make seasonal details easy to find.

Show market dates, pickup details and what is available in season.

Independent retailers

Keep store information current.

Make hours, product details and ways to get in touch easy to find.

Community groups

Share the next way to take part.

Show event dates, locations and how someone can participate.

Mobile trades

Explain the work and service area.

Describe common jobs, where you work and how to ask a question.

Hospitality

Help guests understand the offer.

Explain the stay, meal or experience and how a guest can get in touch.

Wellness and classes

Make each service easy to understand.

Describe the session or class, who it is for and how to ask about it.

Independent professionals

Show who you help.

Describe your services, background and the best way to reach you.

Illustrative tasks, not customer examples or results. Business-specific claims stay tied to owner-confirmed facts or cited published sources.

Small enough to know your name

Built around the work you do.

Living Websites is for small businesses that want a person to keep their website useful after launch. We start with confirmed details, useful pages and a clear way for customers to get in touch.

You keep your site on your own domain. A real person is here when you need to talk through a change.

Our live proof page shows what our site recorded and when. It also says what those numbers cannot prove. Your market will be your own.

Yes. It lives on your own domain and belongs to you. If you leave, you keep the site as it stands.

The service keeps the site current and adds useful pages around your specialty and local market. The package determines the publishing cadence.

No. Search and customer response depend on your market and other factors. Living Websites shows the evidence it has, with dates, and does not promise a result it cannot control.

If your current site brings you business, keep it. If it could do more, tell us what you have and we will look at it before recommending a next step.
